Don't question the soto...

RBI is not meaningless. When it comes to evaluating an individual player's performance, yes, it pretty much is. because the stats show that batters are no better in "clutch" situations than in "nonclutch" situations. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=AiOdIGbve4WS2MzSUeKPdn6FCLcF http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=AtxcXjhol3bdxrEebElBtkCFCLcF?year=2006&type=Batting http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=Amw.C6HHjgFt5wyeyBBVp1iFCLcF?year=2005&type=Batting http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=Aki4QRrJIYdEN9f6.fHIaI.FCLcF?year=2004&type=Batting accept the stats show Aramis is better in clutch situations year after year. It's simply a statistical anomaly. No correlation has ever been shown in any player, ever. It's completely random. Umm, he just showed a direct correlation with Aramis. except once again, its an anomaly. BA with RISP isn't a predictive stat. When you have a guy who is consistently better in certain situations year after year, then yes, you can look at that and logically conclude that it's likely to continue. no. because you cannot logically conclude that hes going to have runners on whenever hes batting. Right now you are arguing that the idea of "clutch" is real. I don't think this game thread is appropriate for this discussion so i'll leave it at that. possibly time to utilize the *snip* method.....

RAMI RAMI RAMI! c'mon!

wrong guy starting out the inning what was that?? :lol:

64 PITCHES

LOAD 'EM UP

lets get through the pitchers spot!!!

in play (runs)

anybody else more excited than any other time this year with 3-6 hitters coming up?? With lee, rammy and murton/floyd all hitting the ball pretty well and then Geo absolutely mashing.. pretty awesome!!

that 2nd pitch called a ball was a foot closer to the plate than the called strike on the 3rd pitch.. (at least on gameday)

how pumped is xavier nady that he's playing on the pirates now instead of the mets... who did they trade him for anyways??

23 15-strikes 8-balls

let's rally boys!!!

atta boy.. nice to see the big 3 getting their power just in time!!!

He's right at what i thought he would be after last season, maybe a little worse. But then when I got into fantasy baseball and started seeing all of the love he was getting I was like wow, maybe i'm a little hard on him... so I guess he's right about where I thought we'd see him.. I think he'll end up being a #2 or #3 behind good starters..

It's probably because it's a noon start so should be over by the time the national game starts at 3. I don't think that's it. I looked at this last year. FOX's contract allows them the exclusive TV rights for all games starting before 6pm on Saturdays. bummer, i really wanted to watch the game at work...

if we did get a-rod how would we go about it. we would not be required to trade for a-rod would we?? is he technically a free agent if he opts out or is he guaranteed that contract through the end of 8 years or whatever it is?

does this mean i can get the game on mlb.tv??

i like it....

who are bullpen catchers?? are they catchers that can't hack it in a, aa, or aaa or what??

I didnt think the coke bottle factory was still operating. I guess they do. Does anyone know where to find the Harry glasses. Are there any not as obnoxious as the ones that bob and len are wearing... Definitely going as Harry for Halloween this year....

looks like Dutchie gets her glasses from the same place Harry did...

i posted this a little earlier and have been in and out so i didn't see a response but..... you think d ward should start in right before floyd?? and i know how much everyone thinks that floyd is a bad right fielder... but does he have a 1.000 fielding percentage??? i thought i saw that on gameday...
